DESCRIPTION

First published in 1958 by Paul LePaul, this is the now classic booklet that helped introduce Brother John's ingenious card magic to magicians worldwide. The man who set a new standard for mind-blowing card magic by blending psychological deception with subtle stratagems and innovative handling of well-known sleights - giving all of his tricks an impact one was not likely to forget. Material includes: The Million-to-One Chance, The Hand is Quicker Than the Eye, The Blushing Bride, The Classical Transposition, The Magician's Reprieve, Kings Through the Table, The Perfect Bridge Hand, The Elusive Burglar, Face Up - Face Down Surprise, The Chameleon Colors, The Mystic Nine, and Thought of Card Under the Table Cloth. Among the dozen effects described are transpositions, color and card matching feats, penetrations and for good measure a bridge trick in which a spectator actually deals himself thirteen Spades! There are tricks here in which a fan or spread of cards suddenly changes from black cards to red ones, then back again all tied in, of course, with the revelation of a chosen card. Each effect has it's own surprise, and it's always unexpected. While some magicians pass four coins through a table top, Brother Hamman passed four Kings through the table one at a time. And for simplicity and directness, his "Thought of Card Under the Table Cloth" can't be beat. You're going to love the handling! Plus, all effects use only regular cards; there are no gaffs! 41 LePaul illustrations, re-typeset and reformatted with larger, easier-to-read type, 52 pages.
